问题     Any sufficiently advanced technology, noted Arthur C. Clarke, a British science-fiction writer, is indistinguishable from magic. The fast-emerging technology of voice computing proves his【C1】________ Using it is just like casting a spell; say a few words into the air, and a nearby device can【C2】________your wish.
    The Amazon Echo, a voice-driven cylindrical computer that sits on a table top and answers to the name Alexa, can【C3】________music tracks and radio stations, tell jokes, answer questions and control smart【C4】________; even before Christmas it was already resident in about 4％ of American households. Voice assistants are【C5】________in smartphones, too; Apple’s Siri【C6】________over 2 billion commands a week, and 20％ of Google【C7】________on Android powered handsets in America are input by voice. Dictating e-mails and text messages now works【C8】________enough to be useful. Why type when you can talk?
    This is a huge shift. Simple【C9】________it may seem, voice has the power to transform computing, by providing a natural means of interaction. Windows, icons and menus, and then touchscreens, were welcomed as more【C10】________ways to deal with computers than entering complex keyboard【C11】________But being able to talk to computers【C12】________the need for the abstraction of a " user interface" at all.【C13】________mobile phones were more than existing phones without wires, and cars were more than carriages without horses, so computers without screens and keyboards have the【C14】________to be more useful and powerful than people can imagine today.
    Voice will not wholly【C15】________other forms of input and output. Sometimes it will remain more【C16】________to converse with a machine by typing rather than talking. But voice is destined to【C17】________a growing share of people’s interactions with the technology around them, from washing machines that tell you how much of the cycle they have left to virtual assistants in corporate call-centres.【C18】________,to reach its full potential, the technology requires【C19】________breakthroughs—and a resolution of the【C20】________questions it raises around the trade-off between convenience and privacy.
【C6】
选项 A、enters
B、dictates
C、handles
D、requires
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。A项 enters输入；B项dictates命令；C项handles处理；D项requires需要。本空考查动词搭配与上下文理解。本空所填动词需要与下文commands“命令，指令”形成搭配。A项 “输入指令”显然可以搭配，但是该句主语为Apple’s Siri显然“输入指令”的主语应该是人，而不是物，故该项可以排除；B项“命令指令”显然是矛盾的搭配，故排除；C项 “处理指令”搭配合理，与上文也可以衔接，该项正确；D项“需要指令”与上下文语境无关，故排除。故答案为B项。
